Because I'm planning on cooking dinner for the first time for the family on Thursday. My dish? Katsudon (sliced deep fried breaded boneless pork chop topped with egg and over rice) and a salad with a Japanese ginger dressing (the kind they use in restaurants). Mom and I got the shopping done today, and I have the recipes posted on the fridge.

I need to learn how to cook now besides eggs, pasta, and rice. I mean, I'm 21 now. Even though I still live with my mom, I gotta learn how to start taking care of my own. I'm trying hard with job searching, so I gotta start cooking so I can take care of myself when I move out. Mom and my sister are amazing cooks, so I think I'll probably do well myself when I get the chance.

If you can follow directions, you can cook. The golden rule of learning is to avoid getting fancy until you're comfortable with each dish you try, until you feel you've got a mastery of that particular sub-genre.

Pork is an unforgiving first choice, though. Have a meat thermometer available.

Woot, feeling proud of my self. Finally complimented to Nicole today! So I was sitting next to her, she was sitting down with her legs crossed, hair on one side of her shoulder texting on her iPhone; I said "Nicole, you look beautiful today!" I made sure I said the word beautiful for a long 3 seconds. She said "Thank you" then smiled for a good 5 minutes, we kept looking back at each other and smiled. Shes GORGOUS! (idk how to spell ) Her background is Japanese and Italian mixed. VERY pretty indeed.

Other than that my classes was legit today. My english teacher keeps telling me to go for Honer English 11 but I'm like, naw I want easy classes and easy Honor Rolls. Sadly they've all suggest Honors class and I turned them down. Their response was "OK! See you at the meeting in April!". First thing come to my mind is "woooooooooow". I just know my mom is going to say yes T_T; fuuuuuu.

Lucky! When I compliment the girl I like she just laughs and walks away to tell her friends and her friends come to point and laugh at me and then a few seconds there is a big crowd around me pointing and laughing!

I am a Brampton Blader and Im proud of it! Its good to be the Mad Master!

There's a reason to go to an all-boys school. That is, you don't have to worry about stuff like that.

I'm guessing your in middle school? Just wait until high school when you and most of the other people are a lot more mature (I would hope). everything is different at that point.

I hear ya, but I gotta start somewhere. I've dealt with Italian Chili before, so I have a little experience cooking outside of breakfast items, rice, and pasta. The way I see it, if I can't even cook meat on my own, then I'll have a much harder time living on my own.

Yo, if you're going to Honors, you should definitely do it. It looks a lot better. Being lazy doesn't go anywhere you know, you should try Honors if you're doing well enough in English.

If your mom says yes, she's just looking out for your future. Same with the teachers.

BTW, you're gonna need to go through a whole lotta stuff to go from Regular to Honors. Just having easy Honor Roll won't give you easy access to good colleges. The fact that you decided to take Regular classes plays a big role in colleges. I would personally go for it.

Hell, I'm in 2 APs and I'm only in 10th grade. One of those classes is AP Language and Composition, which is the AP level of your grade's English. So chill out, Honors is mad easy. AP is like hell though.

Get in here, Dan.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto, "Anyone can cook." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere."

Yes, but then you have to worry about being socially awkward with girls through your college years. Trust me, I went to an all-boys school and when me and my friends went to college (UK college is an institute where you go to for two years, the equivalent of US junior and senior years, then you go to University which you guys call college...) life was tough cos none of us knew how to talk to girls and that instantly makes you suck. The girls could easily tell if the guy they were talking to was previously at an all boys school or not!

This is dead true. Not that I went to an all boys school, but some of my friends did and it was hilarious to watch for a while there. That said, some of my friends didn't and they're just as bad, if not worse, but yeah.

@MFB Mad Master: It's all about the way you say it and who you say it to. Don't even worry about relationships in high school, if stuff like that happens it will only get you down.

And with that, I take my leave - it's been an interesting ride, but one can only bang one's head against a wall so many times before they learn - and my head is mighty sore.
